My dream and the reason why i submerged in JP learning.
(Review contains light-spoilers, but i still want to show it to the masses)
To be fair when i just finished last “true” route, my full view of the story’ perspective didn’t changed. When you just completed the very first route – you’ll obtain the gist of the situation. That means that after entire completion you may have bittersweet aftertaste by receiving the cliffhanger in the end. The suspense sensation that you felt through your denpa-journey just crumbling down and breaks to peaces. That is the emotion that i had. Even though ending may be justifying and interesting in some way, but anyway, i had a thought like “That’s it? You’re joking? I mean, that it is the script of some beta-eroge that still ain’t finished or something.”
Besides some personal expectations off game’ scenario, i want to emphasize the highlight of this ゲ – it’s OST.
BGM in sayooshi truly a gem against the background of some eroges. It has everything i like – dark, changeble, fickle rhythm of the songs and themes of heroines, that full of mystery and its own energy. I still remember every track from sayooshi.
Prose and atmosphere complementing by OST, – it’s a holy truth. Gloomy, crimson, frightening, remarkable descriptions of events and environment makes the blood run cold in your veins. And how clearly it’s noticed – that’s another plus in “pros” section.
Characters on the first glance may be seem like they are poorly written, but after finishing route of some heroine, you’re getting into their inner natures and may even percieve sympathy toward them.
Visual, CharDes/sprites and CG.
Glad that old eroges have a function of font changing. When you first interact with sayooshi, you’re literally cannot read anything easily, because the outlines of the font literally doing it unreadable. So, in the end i changed it to font with almost zero outline and it was literally superb.
There was some interesting solution that closely related with plot when protagonist begin to talk, and right in that moment another character doing the same. I had to mention that one, because it’s really unusual for VN’s. It’s pretty interesting element.
Character designs in sayooshi may look a bit strange when it comes to faces, but still, they are really expressive.
CG’s, especially in some rare h-scenes, were shocking and astonishing.
One of the most important things in sayooshi – it’s an orange filter’s color correction, that goes as splendid addition to an overall atmosphere, mystic sensation and charm to its characters.
In conclusion i want to say that sayooshi is winning hearts of the readers/players by the whole vibe and one more point: sayooshi have so far (for me) one of the best scenes with sincere, truest violence, which resonated within my inner self or complexes, but it’s honestly as it is. It’s clearly representing the pure wrath and hate toward women. If you have resembling views or thoughts, sayooshi’s your case. It will one hundred percent find a response in your darkest corners of your soul.
In the end sayooshi is story about frailness of mind, as some reviewer mentioned. It’s clearly shows how human’s brain cannot escape from consequences obtained by some tragic events in the past and how hard it is to face the new reality, even though it goes unconsciously from perspective of the damaged human.
Excluding the meme-status of sayooshi, i declare that this is a really worthy denpage.
